currency formatting

Hi,

 

I have a field defined as currency(6,2)

and i want to display it in visualforce page as 123.333,90 €

i am currently using <apex:outputText value="{0,number,###,###.00} €/ anno">

but this displays the currency as 123,333.90 €

I'm pretty sure that <apex:smileysurprised:utputText value="{0,number,###.###,00} €"> shows 123.333,90 € (this doesn't work, sorry), but if you are talking about automatic currency formatting with the locale setting, I doubt it works.

I ended up with formatting by myself with using the SFDC formatting for the integer part, and figuring out the floating point character with 

 

double d = 1.1;

string floatingPointChar = d.format().replaceAll('1','');

 

and adding floating part by myself. I did it for Canadian-French and US users.

That's one of stupid things I did and I had to do.

Did you try setting your locale to another value (User preferences), this should impact the display of currencies.

Yes, my locale settings are Italian.

Hi,

 

The code works fine for both American and European format.

My system had English(US) settings so it showed american format.

I had asked my client to check if it showed proper European format and it did.

 

 

Thanks all.
